This is a story about a man who has lost his son and is now trying to survive in an apocalyptic world.

For Ian Ferri, getting the boy of his dreams required more than dumb luck. It required planning. Preparation. Patience. And a willingness to do whatever necessary, in order to win over a boy he didn't even know. His journey is one of perseverance, courage, and - most of all - love.

Devon fled Wyoming as soon as he turned eighteen, leaving behind his high school love, Levi. After six years, Devon returns to his hometown. Not much has changed, except that Levi is no longer in the closet. He’s also single and living his dream—managing the local wild horse population. Both of them are interested in picking up where they left off, but Devon is no more ready to reveal his orientation than he was as a teenager. No one is going to shove Levi back in the closet—not even Devon. For a relationship to work, they’ll have to put the past behind them and find the courage to face the future as who they really are—a couple in love.
